Acer Not Planning Games Console

It looks like reports that Acer is planning to make its own games console are wrong and simply the result of misinterpreted quotes. A UK spokesperson said:
That was a major misunderstanding as JT [James T Wong, Acer's senior vice president] was wrongly interpreted. Acer is not going to release any game console but the idea is to develop a high-end PC (so not a console) targeted at the serious gamer.
The original story claimed that Acer was working on an open console format to compete with the proprietary systems from Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony.

Most of us were right tho to think it would play pc games, i was kinda close as i thought it would be a media centre type box that was for gaming.

Well if these are competitively priced that would be a start.

Would have been interesting to see a hardware company creating their own console. So far we have a software company, a peripheral company and a company that does nothing else.
